Via Vt6421a, Ms25, Via Vt6421l Help Please
« on: September 27, 2007, 01:43:00 AM »

Ok well maybe somebody can help me out. I have two 6421a Raid cards. 3 pc's in all, 2 older non sata MB. 1 with onboard sata "Intel® 82801FB Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 2651" that will not work for some reason even when hex-edited w/XBM. The VIA sata card when installed on this PC wont do anything but crash on bootup. In both older PC's the sata cards seem to work fine,but will not be recognized at all when i give the "mtkflash r /m org.bin" or "mtkflash r /m /sata org.bin" or "samread ******* *****". And yes I've also tried to custom hexedit with XBM.This happens even with everything unpluged,disabled or whatever.Also tried every pci slot in each PC. Not sure how anyone got this card to work since it needs to be hexedited to work. The cards work fine in Windows with VIA driver 5.2c. Can read a sata drive with no problem in Windows.Maybe i need to learn how to manually hexedit mtkflash, cause XBM isnt workn for me. From what i understand the nonraid card "via6421L" will work without all this hassle, but the same exact things happen with that card. I got the "VIA VT6421A" "SYBA-VIA-150" from NEWEGG. I got the "VIA VT6421L" from Tekgems. I'm almost at the point of giving up and pulling the TRIGGER. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/uhh.gif)

I have a solution for you: get a modchip!  Your problem is EXACTLY what I mean when I post reasons about why I hate to flash drives!  If you got an NME v1.2, or Xeno 360, or anything similar, you would be done by now!

Install chip and you are ready to go! Nothing more! (besides creating your backups of course lol)
